Preschool History

Saint Kentigern has a long and proud history of educating young people to achieve at the highest standard. 

Saint Kentigern Preschool opened in Remuera Rd at the beginning of 2011 as a natural extension to the Saint Kentigern family, completing an educational pathway that begins with preschool, continues on to primary school at the Girls’ School or at the Boys’ School in Shore Road, Remuera and finishes with students being prepared for university entrance at Saint Kentigern College in Pakuranga.

To provide a complete educational pathway for families, work began on a purpose-built Preschool on the Girls’ School campus  in Remuera Road which was ready to open at the start of the 2011 academic year. The Girls' School has since moved to 82 Shore Road, Remuera.

The Preschool quickly filled and it was not long before there was a waiting list for families who were keen for a Saint Kentigern education for their child.

The Preschool was formally opened by the Prime Minister, the Right Honourable John Key in a special ceremony in March 2012.
